Default Installing a oil catch can soon

Just ordered the OBX catch below. I like the idea after seeing the oil pool on the lower plenum but i didn't want to use the plastic homemade one.

It should fit in two or three places from my initial measurements its the smallest one i could find.

2.7" diameter and 4.8" height

Also ordered some stainless hose sleeves to bling up the engine bay. I will take some pics of all this when

$55 shipped so about twice as much as the homemade ones... but i wanted something that looked better. Going to use stainless hose 3/8 and blue/red anodized connectors with worm clamps built in hope it looks good.

it keeps your engine from burning blow back. which lowers your octane levels and coats your plenum and throttle body with gunk not including your internals.

Me too just ordered the Greddy one last week from Z1. From the DIY posted its a really simple install. Seems the the biggest problem is finding were you want to mount in the bay. Shouldnt take more then 20-30 minutes if that to install.
